Sweden has the highest variation in wetland types within the EU, and after Russia, it has the largest wetland area in Europe. The Swedish Wetland Survey (VMI), which covered all large wetland sites except the ones in the alpine zone, took place between 1981 and 2004.
Recent developments have seen forest landscape restoration (FLR) become widely recognized as an important means of not only restoring ecological integrity at scale but also generating additional local-to-global benefits.

Governments, companies, banks and civil society are placing more emphasis on the rigorous application of the mitigation hierarchy to avoid, minimize and compensate for projects' impacts on biodiversity.
The goal of biodiversity offsets -- measurable conservation outcomes resulting from actions designed to compensate for significant residual adverse biodiversity impacts arising from project development after other appropriate prevention and mitigation measures have been taken -- is to achieve no
